4 Bugger Off! - SacredWord

Only stopping after he found himself in front of the depiction of the thief.

After a closer inspection, Axel noticed that the thief's silhouette hid more than he had seen before.

Inside the small opening of his cloak, Axel could see a small dagger, what looked like a grappling iron, a small box which he could only assumed was a lock pick set, and finally.. A fake mustache..

The closer he looked at this depiction, the clearer it seemed to become. To a point where he couldn't help it but to move his hand in the silhouette direction, and try to touch it.

As the tip of his fingers were close to brushing against the silhouette, it had already become human-like. Almost indistinguishable from an actual man which pretended to be a statue.

The very moment his fingertips touched the tissue of the cloak, the thief's arm sprung up, and tightly grabbed Axel's wrist.

"Fuck! Hey! Let go!.." Shouted Axel in surprise.

The silhouette's other hand started to move higher and higher, until it reached the hood that covered the thief's face. It then removed it, uncovering a face identical to Axel's.

"I knew you would pick me! HAHAHA! That's what you are after all!" Said the silhouette of the thief.

Axel kept trying to pull his arm away, while shouting, "Bugger off!" but before he managed to free himself, the thief threw a punch at his face, causing him to suddenly wake up.

When he woke up, he found himself still sitting on the ground, and still lying against the tree. Next to him, was the the empty beer can, and the pack which still contained five beers.

"I'm losing the plot.." Muttered Axel to himself, while grabbing the rest of the beers, and going for a second one.

His eyes opened wide in confusion when he noticed that none of the remaining beers, had a pull-tab on either of their ends.

"Yeah, I'm definitely losing it."

He then got back up on his feet, and only then, he notice that his arm and ribs had magically recovered from their previous state.

Confused beyond words, Axel took his phone out of his pocket, and tried to call somebody. Unfortunately, it had been completely destroyed during the impact.

With no other option, Axel decided on which direction to take, and start walking.

-----

A few hours had passed, and the sun was about to set. Axel was starting to feel tired of the constant walking, when suddenly..

*Klopp Klopp* *Klopp Klopp* The sound of horses walking came from behind his back.

He quickly turned around to see a small carriage surrounded by a few men, that carried a wealthy twenty years old girl.

The men that surrounded the carriage were all heavily armored, while the woman sitting on the back of the carriage, which was currently fanning herself, was wearing a beautiful yellow and white dress.

"Wha.. is this a parade or something?.." Asked Axel to himself.

The largest of the man approached him, and said "What are you doing here?"

The very moment the man reached a distance of five meters from Axel, next to him, various small windows appeared.

Each of these windows appeared like small pop-up publicities on a webpage, and each indicated an item of the man's possession, along with what looked like.. A price.
